Historical Context

Design 166 was created in 1909, a productive period for A. Mylne & Co. During the early 1900s, Mylne's office was establishing itself as a leading Scottish yacht design practice. While the firm became best known for larger cruising yachts and racing craft, designs such as Aurora & Brisa demonstrate Mylne's engagement with the small-yacht market—an important segment for naval architects seeking broad market reach. The fact that this design was built in Argentina by Martinez indicates the cosmopolitan nature of yacht design distribution in the Edwardian era, when drawings and specifications circulated internationally, and foreign builders could be licensed to construct designs originating from British design offices.
